As for the supposed objectivity of 'out of the box with no tweaking',
only casual users would do no setting adjustments in any of these
programs - the whole point is they are all very flexible.
I disagree with that claim. I'm typesetting new pieces for practical
choir use almost on a weekly basis and I simply do not have the time to
do setting adjustments unless it is very obviously broken.
It is fine that Dorico (and AFAIK Finale as well) provide a vast amount
of tweaking possibilities to adjust spacing and other things.
For my every day use it is important how much or rather how little
tweaking effort I have to invest to get a fairly decent job done.
In that department Lilypond trounces the competition.
Kind regards,
Michael
